Since the publication of Keynes''s General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money in 1936, macroeconomic theory has altered considerably. Each author in this volume focuses on an issue which either preceded, accompanied or followed the ''Keynesian Revolution'' and helped to shape economics in subsequent years. Contributors reconsider some of the major concepts of the "General Theory": unemployment and the identity of income and output. They also highlight some of the controversies in macroeconomic theory and review the macroeconomic policy implications and consequences.

This study offers a new perspective of Walras'' pure, applied and social economics. Through archival research at the University of Lausanne, Jolink considers Walras'' ideas on philosophy and philosophy of science based on a newly constructed taxonomy. Walras'' work is placed in a broader context by stressing the nineteenth century cultural and historical background in which he lived. This further gives an insight into the relationship between the romanticism of the early nineteenth century and logical positivism of the twentieth century.
